The Italian Futurists hoped to change the world, and were improbably successful in hind-sight. But they have never had a proper show in the America. The Guggenheim in New York has set out to change that. For more video content from The Economist visit our website: http://econ.st/1fGW8rM

Italian Futurism: Boisterous, right-wing and prescient
I refute the assertion that to be a futurist means rejecting that which lies in the past. I believe the past is the best indicator of what the future becomes.
Great video. Whats the second painting with the paratrooper?
QUANDO ERO PICCOLA MANGIAVO INSALATA DI PETALI DI ROSA……
MIO PADRE CUCINAVA LE RICETTE DEL LIBRO FUTURISTA SCRITTO DA MARINETTI POI APPUNTAVA ACCANTO I SUOI PENSIERI. CONSERVO GELOSAMENTE IL PICCOLO LIBRO, AMO I FUTURISTI EAMO IL FUTURO !!!
Like Fascism Futurism is not right-wing. Futurism, in politics Fascism, is the true third way and class collaboration national socialism
Futurists…Verbal masturbation. It's modern art, liberal and void of tradition and culture.
For some reason, I'm becoming more interested into Futurism
Considering Filippo Marinetti was a nationalist and remained loyal to Mussolini until his dying day i think it very unlikely that as this video claims he and other futurists would approve of the globalized civilization of the last man that the west has become.
Marinetti actually died in 1994.
Italians had the alt right since the 1910's. Just kidding, the art is amazing even if they were kind of douchebags.
These talking heads and their disembodied voice obviously have nothing to say, are pretentious fools when it comes to anything about art, and are merely annoying distractions. Turn off their quacking, and allow this vibrant Fascist art speak for itself.
What's wrong with being misogynist? I doubt the general public care, just you center left bourgeoisie art curators
Futurism prefigured the fast globalised world,,prescient, Bollocks, If anything Futurism embodied the Dynamo in The Dynamo and the Virgin chapter of Henry Adams Autobiography,,and that is something entirely different
lol, wtf is this bs
